With guidance and consistency, he’ll continue to improve.🐶 Dog-friendly: Yes!🐱 Cats: Not a match (high prey drive)🏡 Best home: Someone who can keep him safely contained and provide structure for his energy👧Great with kids!

He craves human affection and would spend every hour of the day snuggling if he could! While he is a softy at heart, he also has the natural instinct to be a loyal protector of his home and family.A+ Student: He is already house trained, crate trained, and walks beautifully on a leash!Adventure Buddy: He absolutely loves car rides, playing ball, and exploring the great outdoors.Motivated by Love: He has a passion for toys and treats, and he shows no signs of food aggression.The Ideal Match: Saivyer would thrive as a companion for a single person or a young couple who can provide him with a consistent routine.His Perfect Home:Because Saivyer loves his humans so much, he can experience some separation anxiety. With patience and continued training, he will overcome this and become the most loyal best friend you've ever had.Other Pets: He can be selective with other dogs, so a meet-and-greet with any current canine residents is a must! He isn't a fan of small animals, so a home without them (or with very careful supervision) is best.If you would be interested in giving me a furever home, please contact The Humane Society of Adams County, Inc. at (937) 544-8585 to set up a time to come meet me and fill out an adoption application!

If you’ve been holding off on adopting a dog because you think he’d be lonely without a buddy—Petey would like to personally invite you to knock it off. He’s not lonely. He’s not misunderstood. He just doesn’t like other dogs. At all. He’ll yell if they get too close, and he means it. But people? He’s all in. Loves attention, good with kids, housebroken, rides well, and sleeps like a rock. Petey is 43 lbs, 3 years old, and would like to be your one and only. Forever. Adopt Petey. He’s got manners for people and middle fingers for other dogs—if dogs had fingers, that is.
